TAWI, part of the Piab group, provides smart lifting solutions to increase efficiency, reduce the risk of workforce injury and improve operational processes. Based in Northampton and engineered in Sweden, we provide from Vacuum Lifters to Chain Hoists and can customise our equipment to your individual needs.

This year has presented even more challenges than what you would usually be facing your industry. Not only do you need to consider how you can improve efficiency to meet demands and how you keep your workforce safe during these operations; now you must also face the challenge of newly imposed regulations such as social distancing. We are here to help you solve these problems.

As part of the Piab group, we are a small and friendly UK based team with Swedish engineering behind us, who you can rely on to help you out with any lifting problems you may have. Whether you think there isn’t a solution because you’re lifting something in a very small space, or an item of odd shape, we can help.

We provide both mobile and stationary solutions, and we will provide a free site visit to meet you and view the application to ensure we find the solution best suited to you. If you need us to make some changes to the equipment to meet your specific needs, it’s not a problem. Our range includes Vacuum Lifters, Mobile Vacuum Lifters, Trolley Lifters, and chain hoists amongst many other products which you can view on our website.

Our equipment can lift up to approximately 250kg, has different tool and foot attachments to allow you to lift different shapes and sizes, and enables your staff to lift above the shoulder and head height effortlessly. We can turn two-person lifts into one-person lifts and can ensure that your staff must no longer perform uncomfortable bends or lifts to complete their job. For example, we recently introduced the Easy Reach tool to our range, which extends all the way into the back of a pallet rack, lifts the load from the top, can rotate 360 degrees and can lift up to 50 kg. This massively improves workplace safety and efficiency, as it reduces the need for two-person lifting, and also for injury-risking bending and stretching. This tool also enables you to use your pallet space more efficiently, because you can stack all the way to the top.

Our customers include people from many different industries including, automotive, chemical, food & beverage and pharmaceuticals. We are versatile and ensure our equipment suits different environments including clean rooms, ATEX environments and food preparation areas. We understand that great care is required when handling sensitive organic materials. Any tears or holes in the sacks can allow substances to leak out or air to reach the materials, rendering them useless. TAWI clean room lifting equipment enables operators to lift these loads safely and securely, even when handling sacks or containers of fragile materials like paper. All TAWI solutions are extremely lightweight and easy to use, featuring smooth, seamless surfaces that make for easy cleaning and allow only a minimum of particle accumulation. TAWI’s line of stainless-steel vacuum lifter solutions are ideally suited for the demanding hygiene and safety standards of the Food and Beverage industry.
